About this course

Free BTEC National Extended Diploma in Business in Lambeth. Classes run at Lambeth Academy, full-time during the day.

The course covers the business sector in depth. You'll study marketing, finance, human resources, and how organisations operate. Topics include business strategy, entrepreneurship, and how to apply business thinking to real situations. The course runs over two years and is equivalent to three A levels. You'll need five GCSEs at grade 4 or above to join.

You'll finish with a Pearson Edexcel Level 3 Extended Diploma in Business.

Who this course is for

This course is suitable for anyone considering a career in business including running one of your own. It will give you a broad overview of the business sector and the chance to apply your learning to the kinds of situations faced in business today. The course is a useful stepping stone to business related courses in higher education, or to business jobs and apprenticeships. It will also give you transferable skills that can be used across a range of careers. Equivalent to 3 A levels, it is more coursework focused than a traditional A level business course, so would suit you if you prefer being assessed on projects and assignments rather than a final exam.
